hi,

beginning with release 1.9 mediawiki can have image maps. we also had it as
suggestion for the 150 jahre volkschule project (scholars at the age of
12-14) - but it seems quite challenging - without tools :)

see here for details:

creating/coloring maps is usually the biggest work. anybody knows good tools
or good keywords for a websearch to find tools which facilitate
drawing/coloring images like

a second question:
what is the best/preferred format to store the result? is it svg?
